Every book Parag Khanna recommended on podcasts
Parag Khanna appeared on the a16z Podcast to discuss global connectivity and supply chains. During the episode, Khanna discussed his book Connectography, drawing extensively from its maps, research, and central arguments. He described a map detailing pipeline routes between Russia, Europe, Turkey, North Africa, and the United States to illustrate resilience and complexity in global energy supply. Khanna also used a specific concept from the book to define the identity of people living permanently outside their home countries, referring to them as members of the independent Republic of the supply chain. In response to a question from Sonal about smart cities, Khanna quoted a line from his book reflecting on his travels to places that do not exist on traditional maps. Furthermore, he explained the extensive data gathering required to map special economic zones and their contributions to national exports, contrasting these global urbanization trends with commentary previously written by Marc Andreessen.
